Datacenters aren't running M-series chips.
- guitarlimeo 2y agoWell not M-series chips specifically, but chips optimized for these kind of workloads (like the neural engine in M-series chips is).
- dartos 2y agoIIRC The M series chip isn’t specifically optimized for ML workloads, the biggest gain it has is having unified video and cpu memory as transferring layers between the two is a big bottleneck on non Apple systems. Real ML hardware (like the Nvidia H1000s) that can handle the kind of inference traffic you see in production get hot and use quite a bit of energy, especially when they run at full blast 24/7
- gcr 2y agoGoogle’s TPU energy usage is a well-kept secret / competitive advantage. If energy efficiency isn’t a major concern for them, I bet it will be in a couple years.
